<= 4BB I push alot, even with 4 people left.. is this a good strategy?

Absolutely, but maybe not at the play money tables. When I push at the 22s, I get called by crap like J4 all the time. I can't imagine the calling standards at the play money tables. If you're at a table where you have no fold equity on your pushes, you just have to wait for a good hand.

It's hard to say without some examples and more information, but if you don't feel "confident" in the $2 buy-in tournaments, it's possible you are playing with scared money and are playing too passively or folding with the best hand too often.

Re: I cant beat $2 sngs / play money sngs (after 1000sngs)
 

no, i had a 50 buyin roll and i am definetly not scared

the confidence thing was to find out whether i can beat $2, after a string of losses. I mean, i dont wanna continue to play a game where 'im the sucker'

so say the stack sizes are 14BB, 7BB, 4BB and (me) 4BB, and in the BB i get K8o, SB (7BB) min raises, should I fold?

Post some hands. Read and re-read Harrington on Hold'em 1 and 2.

Re: I cant beat $2 sngs / play money sngs (after 1000sngs)
 

usually i either have 3000 stack or 1000 stack in level 5. Then in the latter, I start pushing alot more often, especially in button - in 3000, I also start pushing against low stacks with K+ and A+.

Also, I'm not sure im making the right plays - can you rate this hand for example (from $2sng)

(edit: folded to me in one before button)

QdQs in one before button, blinds 100/200, 6 handed and i have 1500 stack. raise to 550, called by BB, flop AK8 all diamonds, BB checks, I push, called with AK, Ac turn.

is this correct? should I just push preflop? (because that raise was more than 1/3rd of my chips) ?

second edit: I think i should pushed preflop, because I am committed anyway.

okay, I am playing a $2 sng, it doesn't support HH but I am going to record everything.

Yeah, you botched this one pretty bad. You can't take away a flop you didn't like, no matter how emphatically you bet. And you're right, you should have pushed preflop.

Hmm, DO you fold here usually? [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Do you have 4BB before you post or after? Which stacks are in which positions? Has the SB been raping your BB repeatedly?

i read alot of guides and understand FE and gigas block theory and stuff like that, i am also good enough to understand you dont need fancy plays to play low limit sngs.
